Chaos rumbles into the bar with a hammer in one hand. He roars. He kicks over a chair or two. The patrons tremble and cower. All except one. The Creative Process sits alone in a corner booth, sipping a Madori Sour.
Chaos turns to a window and hurls his hammer. It tumbles end over end toward the glass, strikes it dead center, and sends spiderweb cracks skittering to the corners. He roars again.
"Always breakin' stuff." The Creative Process leaves her booth and ambles over to Chaos. "Always breakin' stuff and making it look so pretty. Just look at those lines. Such a focal point...such raw energy." She points at the broken glass.
Chaos's lower lip quivers. His eyes droop.
"There, there," The Creative Process pats him on the back, "I'll buy you a drink. You'll feel better."

Ah, Chaos overturned by the Creative Process. Nice desciptions, sir. Perhaps he'll order a mint julep.
Nice. Made me smile.
Alan nails my desires for the piece. "Chaos overturned by the Creative Process" - the exact allure of this supershoot. So funny to imagine Chaos's lip quivering. Good work!
Lovely personification!
Okay, but he's gonna need something more powerful than a Midori sour, my dear Process.
Hee! Awesome.
Thanks, everyone. This was just a bit of a whim, and explained my current thoughts better than another long-winded post. ;)
Does the creative process put out? : )
Love this! These two should do just fine together...I had to laugh at the Midori sour. That was my favorite drink in college!
I couldn't help but smile AND Midori sours are my all time fave ;-)

I think chaos has been eating too much chocolate.
This is wonderful whimsy!
Great picture, too. :)
Ha ha, awww, poor Chaos. Like a little kid throwing a tantrum. :-)
Funny...Chaos provides such inspiration for the creative process..so very true. Love how you personified in this. Good job.
I'm-a-thinking Creative and Chaos should invite Chronos and Death over for glass-breaking and peanuts. Maybe some euchre.
Just wonderful. What an excellent concept.
...I think Chaos will need something more like tequila to bolster his spirits. Straight. With a beer back.
Loved this story.
I love it! Loveitloveitloveit. :)
This made me smile. Loved the photo too.
Brilliant!
Hey Aaron,
